Expand Your Queue: Netflix To Stream CW Shows

Netflix users haven't had a lot to be excited about recently. First there was the price increase. Then the rise and fall of Qwikster made the company a virtual punching bag, spawning headlines, jokes and SNL skits.

This is all part of a deal struck up between The CW and Netflix to allow streaming of the young network's young-skewering programming. The four-year streaming agreement allows users to stream previous seasons of the current crop of CW shows. This means you can finally catch up on all 50 seasons of "One Tree Hill". (I kid, "One Tree Hill" is only about to go into it's 9th season.)

The deal means that subscribers can stream previous seasons of the network's programming through the 2014-2015 season. It also means that shows will remain up for at least four years after they complete their run on the network.

Looking to catch up on older CW fare like "Smallville" or "Life UneXpected"? Well, there you're out of luck. The agreement only covers the eight programs currently airing on the network.
